Question 867220: Find out in how many ways the operation can be performed? (Permutation & Combination)?
i) In how many ways can a committee of 5 or more be formed from 12 persons?
ii) In how many ways can a committee of 5 be formed from 12 persons if only two of a group of 3 persons must always be included?
All I know is it must be combination cause order/arrangement does not matter.
I know to solve by formula too; but confused how to begin. Help...
